Gift Card Holder

Hi everyone. Can you believe Christmas is next week? Where did the time go?

I want to share a quick and easy project I made. I got this idea from Kristina Werner. She made Christmas cards that look like "gifts". You can see her blog post here. I thought I would give it a try but instead of just a card I made it into a gift card holder.

I made these for my daughter,niece and nephew for the Itunes cards that will be in their Christmas goodie bags. I will post the bags in another post.

Here's a mini tutorial.

I once again I used the DCWV Christmas combo pack.


First cut cardstock to 4"x8" and fold in half to make it 4"x4"
For the inside pocket cut cardstock to 3 3/4"x1 1/2"
I used a 1" circle punch to make the half circle on the pocket.  Insert the cardstock halfway in the punch to make the half circle.
Apply sticky tape to sides and bottom of pocket. I used the 1/4" tape. Stick pocket to the inside of card.
The inside is now done.

For the front cut pattern paper to 3 1/2"x3 1/2" and attach to the front of card.
Wrap ribbon around the card and make a bow.

The bows were really kicking my you know what today but I think I won in the end.

Kristina has a video on her blog post showing how she made the card. If you would like to see it click on the link.
